Although the capital of the Kingdom of Saxony does not have to face the harsh climate like the Belica Fortress in the Misty Forest, the entire Kingdom of Saxony belongs to the extreme north after all, and even in the royal capital, the temperature is absolutely not warm.

Blowing in the cold wind, Edward stood on Alphonse's shoulder, holding a telescope and looking out at the road in the distance, the two of them had walked for a long time, and the sun was about to set, but there was no sign of the carriage. Although some travelers and horse-drawn caravans were inquired about along the way, the two also got some news and many people had seen the carriage on the way, after all, female coachmen were still relatively rare on the mainland.

"Oh no, if the sun goes down, let alone looking for that carriage, maybe we'll all get lost. Alphonse looked at the slowly setting sun with a wistful expression.

Edward said even more anxiously: "What should we do~ Al! Let's go back and ask the priests of the temple for help!"

Speaking of asking the priest for help, which of the highest heads of the Ice Maiden Temple is now the beautiful but unsmiling silver-haired priestess Serena, although he has only met a few times, Edward finds that when he sees a priest, it is like a frog seeing a snake, and whenever he is watched by her, it is like being watched by a gorgon, and the sense of oppression is even more terrible than Miria.

"It's too late, brother~ Now it's at least late at night for us to run back, plus the distance and time back and forth, Tia may have been killed. At the mention of Tia's possible murder, Alphonse instantly reverted back to a child's personality and became dispossessed.

"Then~ what should I do~ Al!"

Alphonse didn't answer his brother for the time being, this time he and his brother were too anxious, and as soon as they found out that Tia was in danger, they impulsively ran to try to save people, and now it is like this. If he had gone to the temple in the first place, the temple personnel would have immediately contacted the security team of the royal capital to search for it, and it would have become the way he and his brother were looking here like headless flies.

Ay~!

With a sigh, Edward had to admit that the current situation was indeed bad. If it was completely dark, then he and Al would have to go back to the royal capital to contact the priestess of the temple, but then Tia would be in danger! After wasting so much time, maybe Tia would have been killed by those guys and sacrificed to the so-called master.

Damn! Alphonse Elric, you big idiot, if only you hadn't cowered so much and went straight to the temple to explain the situation!

It was getting darker, and as night began to fall, so did the weather in a world without sunlight. Edward, who had gone some distance further, had to make up his mind to let Alphonse return, and continue to wander in the wilderness in the dark of night, even if it was not very safe on the main road, Alphonse begged his brother to try to look some distance ahead. One asked to return and the other to move on, and the two began to argue. Unfortunately, the diminutive Edward was unable to pull Alphonse, who was huge, and was dragged forward by his younger brother.

"Go back to Al, I know you're worried about Tia, but now it's dark and if you keep walking, not only will you not find Tia, but even we will be in danger. ”

“┉┉┉┉”

"Be obedient, Al, you're not afraid of the cold, I can't spend the night in such a cold weather. ”

“┉┉┉┉”

"Please, Al, go back. We must immediately report the situation to the priests in the temple, and perhaps Miss Priestess will find a way to find Tia. ”

In order to persuade Alphonse to go back, Edward even said that he was willing to go to the temple, which was a 'taboo', but Alphonse was as determined to find Tia, and he did not waver in his brother's efforts to dissuade him. The two of them tugged and pulled for some distance, and just as Edward was about to get angry, Alphonse's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed his brother under his arm and ran towards the bushes on the side of the road.

Xiaodouzi Edward Yixi thought that his younger brother had finally changed his mind: "Have you finally figured it out!"

"Whisper, brother~" Alphonse, who had hid behind the bushes, made a silent gesture and then pointed to the road ahead.

Edward looked intently at the place Al had pointed out. With a little light and the sound of horses' hooves, a carriage slowly drove by, and two torches were stuck in front of them. This light stood out in the dark of night, and it was this light that illuminated not only the road in front of the carriage, but also the coachman of Edward and Alphonse, a woman who looked to be in her thirties.

The coachman, and the miscellaneous horses! In an instant, a common thought came to their minds, and this carriage was the carriage that was suspected of taking Tia away.

Watching the carriage pass in front of him, Alvon stood up sharply, as if ready to rush out and intercept the other party. And Edward stopped Al's move at the first time: "Don't expose the stupid. ”

"We have to stop her brother, the coachman must know where to take Tia. Alphonse was trying to break free of Edward's hand.

"What's the use of you stopping the carriage, have you forgotten the personalities of the two women before?" Edward knocked Al on the head, "They are all fanatics who would rather die than tell any secrets, what are you going to do when you stop her?"

Alphonse was dumbfounded by Edward's speechlessness, indeed judging from the behavior of the two women before. Even stopping this carriage yourself now is useless.

After the carriage had gone far, Edward looked at the road ahead, broke some branches and made torches out of alchemy, and then the faint light of the fire made Edward crouch on the ground and calculated. Finding the carriage was equivalent to finding hope, and Edward, who was already a little depressed, also cheered up, and made a comprehensive calculation based on the speed of the carriage that Guò had observed before, as well as the time of delay and the speed of his and Al's advance, that the carriage should be four or five kilometers away in front of him.

After determining the approximate position, Alphonse even put his brother on his shoulder, not caring about Edward, who was hurt by the hard armor in his waist, Alphonse ran quickly, leaving only Edward's screams along the way.

┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉┉

I'm so dizzy~

In the darkness, the temple maid Tia woke up slowly, because the drug was still working, Tia only felt that her head was groggy as if she had been beaten with a wooden stick. A confusion of memories ensued, and there seemed to be some cacophony of voices in my ears, sounding like ghostly wails and women's moans.

Trying to open her eyes, Tia found that it was still dark in front of her, and panicked for a while, and Tia realized that she was not blind, but her eyes were covered with a black cloth. Subconsciously about to reach out and take the black cloth away, Tia found that she seemed to be fixed and couldn't move no matter how she struggled.

Tia screamed and shouted for help, but after shouting for a while and finding no response, Tia quickly calmed down, although she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, Tia had also grown up with the priestess Elena since she was a child, and as an adoptive mother, Elena taught Tia about the belief in the goddess of ice and snow, and also taught her how to deal with danger when her adoptive daughter encountered. In this case, I don't know what the other party's goal is, screaming and struggling indiscriminately when being imprisoned and not getting a response is just a stupid thing to waste, and calming down and saving the body and finding a way to save yourself is the right way.

After lying down, Tia gently groped the shackles on her wrists with her fingers, and it felt like it should be made of iron from the material, which was not something that a girl could break free of without a key. After moving her body for a while, Tia was frustrated to find that in addition to her limbs, she also had a shackle on her arms and chest, and she had been restrained in a very shameful way to some kind of curved torture device, and if she held this position for a little longer, her back would be very uncomfortable.

After calming down, Tia began to try to sort out her chaotic memories┉┉ At first, she remembered that she was going out to buy some things on the order of the priestess Elena, but when she walked to the shopping street, she suddenly met someone asking for help, and then ┉┉ She followed a woman into a shop, and then she suddenly fell unconscious for some reason.

Who is the other party, and why do you want to kidnap yourself!

Tia couldn't figure this out, if she wanted to steal information about the temple, but in terms of identity, she was just the lady-in-waiting of the priestess Elena, and was only responsible for some ordinary groceries, not even the clerical staff of the temple. If it was for money to extort a ransom, Tia didn't think anyone would dare to extort it from the Holy Capital.

Thinking of this religious organization, which was usually hostile to the Holy Capital, Tia couldn't help frowning. The two major religious organizations have their own bases in the royal capital of Saxony, but considering the fate of the people of the Saxon Kingdom and the face of the royal family, they only secretly slander each other, and they still remain peaceful on the surface, and after thinking about it carefully, Tia doesn't think that the people of the Holy See will kidnap her, even if she is half of the adopted daughter of the priestess Elena, her status as a maid is still not worth the trouble of the other party, it makes no sense to kidnap herself and will not cause any substantial damage to the temple, and Tia is also very aware of the character of the priestess Elena, she is a pure believer and will never compromise with the kidnappers。

Then the last remaining possibility ┉┉

Cultist!!Tia shuddered at the thought of this!(To be continued......)
